Description ioioi2100 2011-05-10 01:23:20 UTC
Description of problem: Does not allow me to update. Sends this error message:

Error Type: <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>
Error Value: 'YumFilter' object has no attribute 'pre_process'
  File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3619, in <module>
    main()
  File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3616, in main
    backend.dispatcher(sys.argv[1:])
  File : /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 748, in dispatcher
    self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:])
  File : /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 632, in dispatch_command
    self.get_updates(filters)
  File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 2784, in get_updates
    if pkgfilter.pre_process(pkg):


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Unknown


How reproducible: Whenever I try to update I get this error


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the program 'software updates'
  
Actual results: Error message


Expected results: Checks for software updates

Additional info: Using Gnome 3 Fedora 15, problem arose right after last system update. Not sure about which package that has problem, so I just guessed.

Comment 1 Elad Alfassa 2011-05-10 08:11:30 UTC
AFAIK it was fixed in the most recent version of packagekit, open a terminal and run
su -c 'yum clean metadata; yum update PackageKit*'
